The Devil.
WASHINGTON, Rappahannock county, Va,
December Sd, 1886.

WASHINGTON, Rappahannock county, Va,
December 3D., 1856.
To the editor of The Alexandria Gazette:
Can it be possible, when mortal existence is
ended, for the spirit to watch the decay and de-
composition of the body in the grave until it
mingles with its natural dust? and likewise for
the dust to unite gradually by degrees with the
spirit that once was covered By it, whether III
he wen or the opposite place, and then will the
general Judgment be come? 1t is wise to let the
devil alone; he is not worth talking about, only
to be denounced in the scverest terms but he VIII
be the first thst will meet us in the other
world to claim us as his own if we don't behave
ourselves in good, genteel, Christian manner
here. 1t has been, ADD is my prayer now, that he
will not get brother A, Z, c. ID, or anybody else
Remember that holy writ tells US that the devil
COMMENDED for the body of Moses What he
wanted with it, God only knows; l can't tell.
The angel of the Lord dare not bring against
him railing accusation" but mortals are moro
privileged characters because angels have not
been tempted, tormented By him as mortas
have. No doubt the devil will have all these
same troubles cast upon and into him that he has
caused us to suffer- and they shall act rs fires that
shall burn him and never BIO quenched forever.
Our Saviour says that he "saw Satan fall like
lightning from heaven" 1t will be well for us
to consider the rnomentous issues at stake. Think
o man, of time, DEATH Judgment and eternity
Yours respectfully, NJ

CLUvERIUs.-A dispatch from Richmond
last night says "It is understood that q
further effort to save Cuverius's life will be
made by attempting to get the csse before
the United States Court on q writ Of habeas
corpus, OH the ground that the prisoner has
not had fair and impartial trial, which is
guaranteed to every citizen of the United
States under the Constitution. The alleged
uufarness is that three of the jurors who
have served on the case have avowed that
they would have rendered different YER
dict if they had known they could have
done so under the rulings of the lower
court" Several members of the legislature
say that a Communication ofsentence. in their
opinion, is u matter that the Legislature has
nothing to DO with but they are all of the
opinion that sufficient evidence has not been
adduced by the commonwealth to justify the
infliction of the death penalty.
Ofthe lilo members of the General AS
sembly, 81 have responded to Willie Cluve-
rius's circular, and IS of these favorably.
Mrs. Tupstall, the devoted aunt OF Cluve-
RUS, has spent about 81 900 in an effort to
save his life. It is proposed to reimburse
her by the sale CT the manuscript of the his
tory OF his life, which Cluverius has COM
pleted. An effort has been made 10 get up
syndicate to put the book on the market
before the day of execution, but no pur'
chaser has yet been found willing to pay the
price demanded for the matter.

Alex ANDRIA.
WEDNESDAY EVENING. JANUARY 5.

THERE SEEMS to be a sort of impression
in and about Norfolk that the introduction
OF bill in Congress by Mr.. Barbour to
change the boundaries of the Norfolk Gus
toms district proves that that gentleman
approves the bill and will advocate its pas
sage. No idea could be more erroneous.
FIR. Barbour introduced the bill at the re-
quest of another gentleman from his State,
General Wickham, and if he had moi intro
duced it, any of the other Virginia congress
men would; but if all of them had refused, 1t
could have been brought before Congress
through tie petition box. Every Monday
hundreds of bills are introduced IN Congress
of which nothing ia known by those who
introduce them save their titles and the
fact that their introduction has been re-
ouested. Mr.. Barbour introduced the bill
referred to as he would have introduced
any other bill that any reputable Vrglnian
might have asked him to introduce; but
that was ali he had TO do with it, and there
his connection with it ceased.
